i just remembered that i had written in a poc’s pov, as a white woman. it happened in some point in my criminal minds fic(i was writing in derek’s pov). i had completely forgotten.
if you’re a poc and you’re reading this right now, i am genuinely so sorry. when i was writing that fic, it hadn’t crossed my mind that it would be potentially wrong.
if you would like me to either revise the story or just unpublish it entirely, i will do that. just send me a message or comment on this, i don’t care how you chose to inform me, just please inform me of how you would like to take action.
again, i am completely sorry. sometimes i do things and i don’t think about it until after the fact. it was never my intention to do something that could have potentially hurt someone or more than one person.
i pride myself in not doing things that are problematic and/or hurt other people.
i am so incredibly sorry to the entire poc community that i may have offended. this was not my intention.
from now on, i will be extra cautious on what i write about and what pov i write in. i will take this as a learning experience, grow, and move on for the better.
i am so sorry. and i do realize that not everyone will accept this apology, and that is ok. everyone is different. just understand that i am aware of what i did was wrong, and that i am going to be better.
i hope you all have a fantastic day/night/evening.
